The pretty Mid Devon village of Down St Mary is a popular destination to live in this beautiful and unspoilt part of Devon. Located away from main roads but without being too far off the beaten track and yet within a couple of miles of the Tarka line, linking Exeter and Barnstaple by rail, and less than 15 minutes from Crediton with its schools and amenities, it’s a small village with a great community.
The barn was converted approx. 10 years ago by a well known local developer who is now selling for the first time. It’s full of character mixed with modern building standards with high levels of insulation to give a solid, cosy and warm home with further potential to extend. To the south end of the barn, the foundations have been laid for a conservatory or extension (stp) meaning minimal disruption to the existing house and gardens but the chance to add additional living space, a home office or utility. It’s not listed either. The plot is level and the boundary is a mix of walls and fencing giving security and privacy even in a central village location. There are miles of country lanes to explore, right from the doorstep. The layout gives a central hallway (with WC) with access to the large living room with its feature wood-burning stove, and the large kitchen/dining room with doors to the garden. It’s from here that one could extend (STP). On the first floor are four bedrooms, two of which have ensuite shower rooms, and a family bathroom. We love the light on the first floor from those roof lights, adding to the character and feel of this lovely home.
Outside, access is from an initial right of way from the country lane and then through double gates to the ample parking area with plenty of room for numerous vehicles. The remainder of the garden is level, easy to maintain and mainly laid to lawn. The previously mentioned raised foundations give an elevated terrace seating area too.

DOWN ST MARY village sits atop a hill amid a landscape criss-crossed with footpaths and bridleways, indeed the famous, long-distance footpath ‘The Two Moors Way’ passes close by. Down St Mary parish incorporates Chaffcombe and Morchard Road. The latter is home to the Devonshire Dumpling pub and provides frequent buses to Crediton and Exeter while the station gives trains for Exeter or Barnstaple. For amenities, several nearby villages offer local convenience shops, while Crediton is about a 15-minute drive away with its thriving high street full of independent shops and several well-known supermarkets.
